white poly filter

[tami1024]

has anyone ever used them and what can you witty RC people tell me about them?

I use them in my nano tank. It works as advertised. I cut a 3x4 peice that fits the drip tray perfectly. This is my main filtration other than a bag of chemipure and of course live rock. I have to replace it once a week, longer than that it gets too dirty. For anything other than a nano, it could be expensive. I normally pay around almost $30 for a 12x12 pad.

I swear by poly filters. I rinse mine out once a week and use them a good couple of months in my 30 gallon.

Do I have to remove them if I supplement?

Poly filters are the only type of sponge media I will put in my tank.

I have been using poly filters close to 20 years in all my reefs. They are for chemical filtration and not mechanical. They remove meds, pollutants, metals, copper etc. If I were to describe them they are a cross between carbon and seachem purigen and cupisorb.
